flooding solutions

my car flooded today. i was with a hot chic and it was embaressing. i had to pop the hood and pull the egi fuse. awhile back, i had a toggle switch wired to my fuel pump so if the car didnt start i could sit in the car and turn the pump off and crank and then turn the switch back on. but now i have a thick wire going to my fuel pump and i dont think a toggle switch will work anymore. is there any other solutions to this flooding problem without getting out of the car and taking the fuse out? my injectors have been flushed recently already and i dont know what to do anymore. i dont know how the wiring is with the fuel pump. it is a walbro unit. does it have a thin ground wire? maybe a toggle switch hooked up with the thin ground wire if there is one? any ideas? thanks for any info.

so basically, is there a thin wire that i can wire up to a toggle switch and switch on/off without going into the engine? thanks.

Go to the Mazdatrix web site. They sell a slick fix h valve that you mount on the fuel suppy and return lines. Basically, sounds like you've still got a drippy injector problem. When the car is at rest, a really tiny "H" connector allows the pressure to release gasoline into the return line.

Cheap fix and will allow you to reduce time on under you hood for more redeaming time with your GF.
